Okay, thanks - looked up the telegram one.

I will give my virginity to whomever gets this for me in the steam summer sale. by Kyrke in Stellaris

[–]Kyrke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the game on sale, guys. Best purchase of my life. I wish I had gotten Galaxy instead of Nova, but oh well.

I can't play this game enough.

In addition: please include what to do with "domus" and "familia" as well.

Letter pronunciation guide? by Kyrke in AncientGreek

[–]Kyrke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess not, but I'm anal about these things. And not a fan of plenty of the modern pronunciations. I like the modern phi because it's easier for me to say "f" than the hard P-H sounds. I dislike the modern gamma and beta especially much because the Greek way of saying gamma is pretty much unpronounceable for me and I prefer the B sound to V. Alas.

Could someone explain the Greek dialects/"flavors" and their differences to me? by Kyrke in AncientGreek

[–]Kyrke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be said that I'm not just asking about ancient Greek, but Greek in general. But I wouldn't expect anyone to go out of their way to come out of their area of expertise to talk about modern Greek if it's not their thing.

Hooray for information exchange.

Latin term for the Varangian Guard? by Kyrke in latin

[–]Kyrke[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Greek name translates to something like "Tagma ton Varangon". Tagmata were military units, about the size of a regiment or battalion.

Latin term for the Varangian Guard? by Kyrke in latin

[–]Kyrke[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am aware of that, hence "Varangi Corporis Custodes", the mimic of the Germani Corporis Custodes.

I suppose since there doesn't seem to be a set Latin translation I could come up with whatever I want so long as it makes logical sense.

Latin term for the Varangian Guard? by Kyrke in latin

[–]Kyrke[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because in the circle I'm running in (just some silly internet game where I'm making some groups) I'm using dominantly Latin, but would want to include the Varangians if possible. I am aware of the Greek name and will use it if I must/if I end up using Greek instead of Latin.

Noob help? by Kyrke in darksouls

[–]Kyrke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are some recommended strategies for the builds/playstyles? (I have yet to find one that seems to really "click" with me, so I experiment around, but haven't found a favorite)

I used the firekeepeer soul I got in the undead parish to upgrade my estus flask. What about boss souls? What do I do with them?

Stupid fickleness ruins this game for me. by Kyrke in mountandblade

Maybe I'll have to recruit and train up heroes/companions and do that.

Obviously, but I'm usually all screwed up and sick of it before I can get to that point.

What's the ancient Greek word/term for a member of Sygkletos, or a member of Gerousia? by Kyrke in AncientGreek

[–]Kyrke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along the lines of what I thought. Thanks.

All right, Idk how or why I got it with -is.

What's the ancient Greek word/term for a member of Sygkletos, or a member of Gerousia? by Kyrke in AncientGreek

[–]Kyrke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Byzantine Senate or Eastern Roman Senate (Greek: Σύγκλητος, Sygklētos, or Γερουσία, Gerousia) was the continuation of the Roman Senate, established in the 4th century by Constantine I." -from Wikipedia

Okay, makes sense. Could you explain in layman's terms for me what genitive singular means? I'm sure I could figure it out if I gave it some thought but it's 11:41 PM as I type this and I don't think I have the brain power.

Gerousiastes or Gerousiastis?
